rants: no cure for stupidity

I live in NYC and people here are known to be much more arrogant, rude and stupid than anywhere else in the US (or perhaps the whole world). Case in point, someone in the bus this morning blocked the way to the back of the bus. This 300-pound (if not more) man didn’t even acknowledge me as I excused my self asking him to give way. I guess the words, “Excuse me,” have lost all meaning in this city. Was this man stupid or simply an idiot? I don’t know as I just wanted to put my boot up his fat arse — so much for going to church with the right state of mind.
